Does Auspice Subtle Blow stack with Sambas?

I don't think so.

Does Auspice Subtle Blow stack with Sambas?

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't stack. You're probably tying it to the En-light effect that Auspice provides when under the effect of Afflatus Misery, which, to my knowledge, takes priority over Sambas.

Otherwise, the effect just acts as a "Subtle Blow+10" buff and stacks with other Subtle Blow effects up until the cap of +50.

i just reactivated from a long break. what is pinning, who can do it, and how is it done?

Technique which allows a nasty mob to be low manned by using the terrain and triggering a movement pattern in a mob which makes it easy to manage. E.g. getting a mob to run back and forth along a wall or from the middle of one side of a wall to the middle of the other and back again. Small movements by a player will prompt the mob to turn and go back the other way. The aim is to have the mob moving constantly but never actually getting close enough to you for long enough to kill you.

Dont know where to post this really ...

In my opinion it would be really good to make a seperate Abyssea section (just like MMM) since there are lots of threads and posts already and with 2 more upcoming expensions this would make a good place to get information because there will be a lot.

If you had both, Heralds Gaiters and Serpentes Sabots, how would you use the two (for WHM and BLM)? I cannot think of a way that productively uses both, in spellcast.

I do a lot of low man, so, idling in Gaiters is useful a lot. But, sometimes, idling in Gaiters is worthless. How can I incorporate both to my spellcast to make me the most efficient?

[Cairthenn]

Don't use spellcast.

I would have actual Serps idling in spellcast, and macro to change between the two. Yeah its more work, but you will have control over when you want the Serp bonus and movement speed, since you won't ALWAYS need mvt. speed. That way you'll aftercast into Serps (unless you have the set and are curing) and start getting the refresh or regen. If you are soloing or something requiring your need to aftercast into gaiters, I would have a separate group and toggle it with a macro.

Windower comes with a GUI that let's you do all of that without messing with the registry. Tick advanced in the GUI to get the extra options.

Thanks, didnt know that. What would be the best settings for a 1680x1050 monitor? And what extra options should I have on, like for bump mapping and compression?

Idle in serpent, and make a run macro to equip gaiters. Press your run macro before moving any distance > 5'.

[drwaffles]

I can't believe someone just had to be told to equip Gaiters when they want to run. GG Spellcast.

[rog]

What? Make a macro to equip gear? How do i do that?

[GImpers]

I wasn't asking when to use Gaiters. I already knew I could idle in Sabots and hit a macro for Gaiters. I was was asking if there was a way to setup rules in spellcast to make it the most efficient.

Next question: I keep reading on here, with lvl 80, gearing for accuracy isn't needed anymore. Is using Askar Body, on SAM, acceptable now (gearing for 5 hit)? This is my current TP setup:

Hagun/Pole/-/Tiphia
Turban/Justice/Bushi/Brutal
Haub+1/Dusk/Ulth/Rajas
Foragers/Swift/Byakko's/Usu

My goal is to end up with this w/Carbonara:

OAT/Rose/-/Tiphia
Turban/Justice/Bushi/Brutal
Askar/Dusk/Ecphoria/Rajas
Foragers/Swift/Byakko's/Usu

Two things you can do.

1) setup a rule to equip serpent in the day, and gaiters at night (assuming you don't care about the regen).
2) make a variable, and put $feet in your idle gear set, then change the variable to either serpent, or gaiters in situations you would want to constantly have gaiters on (ie you're running a lot, and are too lazy to hit your run macro).

It's always been acceptable, as long as your acc could support it.
